how to use the isequal function from lodash in javascript

The isEqual function from Lodash can be used to compare two values and determine if they are equivalent. This function uses a deep comparison to compare nested objects, arrays, and primitive values.

To use isEqual, first, import it from the Lodash library:

index.tsx
const isEqual = require('lodash/isEqual');
43 chars
2 lines

Then you can call isEqual passing the objects you want to compare:

index.tsx
const obj1 = {a: 1, b: {c: 2}};
const obj2 = {a: 1, b: {c: 2}};

console.log(isEqual(obj1, obj2)); // Output: true
115 chars
5 lines

In this example, isEqual compares obj1 and obj2 and returns true because both objects have the same properties with the same values.

You can also use isEqual to compare arrays:

index.tsx
const arr1 = [1, 2, {a: 3}];
const arr2 = [1, 2, {a: 3}];

console.log(isEqual(arr1, arr2)); // Output: true
109 chars
5 lines

In this case, isEqual returns true because both arrays have the same elements with the same values.

Note that isEqual returns true only if the objects or arrays being compared have the same structure and the same values. If the objects or arrays have different types or different keys or elements, isEqual will return false.

index.tsx
console.log(isEqual([1, 2, 3], {0: 1, 1: 2, 2: 3})); // Output: false
